Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 912 Guozijian
"Dongdu, how can there be no Guozijian? It has been abandoned for so long, and now it can be rebuilt." Shao Shude, who returned to Luoyang, thought about another matter.

To be honest, these days are really comfortable.

Fighting is very hard and hurts the body.Shao Shude still remembered his ten fingers were as cold as carrots when he sent troops on a snowy night.

He is still the commander-in-chief, the king of Xia, and if he is replaced by an ordinary soldier, the conditions are worse and more difficult, what will he be like if he is frozen?

There were chilblains all over his hands, face, and ears, and there were wounds that were blown open by the cold wind, and some festered and pus-filled.

In the snow, I ate dry and piercing vinegar cakes, drank cold water, and drove in the wind and snow day and night. When the battle came, all arrows were fired, and I fought desperately with knives and guns.

Wu Fu is not so easy to be, and the money is not so easy to get!
What?No war in snowy days?No, when the Huangchao was encircled and suppressed, several feet of snow was still falling, and it continued throughout the winter.

In the first month, Wang Rong and Li Kuangwei joined forces to attack Li Keyong with 10,000+ troops.

Do not fight during the dog days?There is no such rule.Zhu Quanzhong sent troops to attack Shipu in Daxia.It was still in the scorching summer, and Sun Ru and Yang Xingmi were still fighting fiercely.

Twelve months in a year, there is no time when we cannot fight.The professional warriors of the Kingdom and Dynasty fight around the clock, in heavy snow, rainstorm, and wind and sand. As long as you don't take pity on the common people, you can fight at any time if you allow your masters to waste their farmland.

After leaving the front line, it is much more comfortable to deal with government affairs in the rear, design the future of the country, and hang out with wild women in your spare time, which is much more comfortable than fighting a war.

"My lord, Guozijian has jurisdiction over Guozixue, Taixue, Guangwenguan, Simenguan, Law, Calligraphy, and Mathematical Sciences. Each has a doctorate, teaching assistants, and direct lectures. If it is rebuilt, what needs to be added?" Zhao Guangfeng Sure enough, he was sensible, and hit the bull's-eye as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Mathematics should be established first, and the teaching materials should be revised." Shao Shude said.

There are ten compulsory textbooks for Guozijian Mathematics, namely "Nine Chapters", "Sea Island", "Zhang Qiujian", "Xiahouyang", etc., and two minor textbooks: "Ji Yi" and "Third Class Numbers".

After reading the textbooks, he just felt that they were not systematic enough, and they were not connected in series.He now needs a comprehensive work, a work that can explain the principles of mathematics and geometry thoroughly and systematically.

When I was in Yunzhou, there was a Qingshui stone bridge on Jishui in the west of the city, which was built in the first year of Renshou in the former Sui Dynasty.This is a stone arch bridge. Five years after its completion, the famous "Zhaozhou Bridge" was built in Zhaozhou, Hebei, and it was not as large as the Qingshui Stone Bridge in Yunzhou.

There are still bridge builders in Yunzhou. Shao Shude asked them why the stone arch bridge was built like this?Is there anything to say?If you change the shape, is there any other design plan?

No one can answer.

To change the design plan, you must analyze the force, you must at least understand mechanics and geometry.Bridge builders have some "tricks" and "mouth formulas" passed down from master to apprentice, but the formulas only focus on practical applications, such as what angle to use, how many stones to use, how to stack them, and so on.It's a pity that those craftsmen's status is very low, their education level is very low, and they don't know any words. It is impossible to summarize and extract things like classical mechanics by relying on them.

Guochao has books such as "Building French", but they only teach you how to build, and they don't explain why they are built in this way.Shao Shude flipped through the book and found that according to that method, the exterior structure of the building would be very delicate, but the materials used far exceeded the actual needs.In fact, because of the lack of scientific calculations and uncertainty about the carrying capacity, the most conservative design can only be used. In the final analysis, it is based on experience, not science.

In fact, you already have experience and know how much a few stones and pieces of wood can carry. Why don't you go a step further and generalize it to theoretical mechanics?It may be that the status is too low and the level of education is too low. After all, summarizing and perfecting the theory requires money, leisure and knowledge.

Craftsmen are not necessarily literate, their status is low, and they are [-] all day long. They really cannot be expected to engage in scientific research.

"Imperial College adds an engineering school." Shao Shude said: "Now every state has an engineering school, but the quality of teaching is hard to describe."

Shao Shude stood up, pacing with his hands behind his back, thinking again.

Engineering now mainly focuses on teaching architecture and iron smelting, and most of them teach knowledge to skilled craftsmen.They shrink back, very few of them can read, and many of them speak incoherently. When teaching, the pictures are too beautiful and the efficiency is touching. Shao Shude has always felt that this is a waste of money.

He is now thinking about where to find a group of educated people with a little money and a lot of time to devote themselves to fields such as mathematics, engineering, and medicine.

The noble children may be a good source.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large number of nobles with food seals will definitely be granted.After the death of these nobles, generally only the eldest son can inherit the title, what about the second son and the bastard?Born in such a family, even a bastard can receive a good education since childhood. This is actually a good source of students. The key is how to let them learn this?
In fact, many honored children of Guochao are not doing well.After Lao Tzu died, his elder brother took over the title. If he and his elder brother and mother were compatriots, the situation might not be so bad, but the life of many bastards is really hard. Sometimes, in order to make a living, they would sharpen their heads and squeeze into the Imperial College. Live, but also to learn knowledge and test to become an official.

However, the number of places in Guozijian is limited, and not everyone can enter.Then appropriately expanding the enrollment quotas of engineering, medicine, and mathematics should be able to absorb a large number of noble and noble children who are living in difficulties.

Now that we have the source of students, we have to find a way out for them.

It's useless to learn it, you can't be an official, you can't make money, who will learn it?

It is necessary to make people realize that it is cheaper, better quality, and more compelling to use professionals to build.But to be honest, for non-governmental projects, these people's appearance fee or salary is too high, and it is estimated that they cannot compete with those craftsmen who don't know a few words and can only memorize experience formulas.

Is it possible to set up a trade association or a qualification certificate to artificially set the threshold?It's still unrealistic, and ordinary people won't care about you.

Then we can only find a way from large-scale government projects.

In the future, the post roads, pools or large buildings in all states and counties must be designed and supervised by the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court, so as to achieve quality and be as scientific as possible and at a lower cost.The Ministry of Industry is filled with these students, and it is their private land.

Shao Shude let out a long breath.The idea is very good, but there will definitely be problems of one kind or another in actual implementation, alas.

Establish new disciplines and find jobs for them.It's not a temporary job, it has to be a long-term solution.This job has to have a status, the income is rich enough, and attract more high-quality students to succeed, so that this discipline can be carried forward.

It's so fucking hard!
After decades or 100 years, the Ministry of Industry was finally occupied by people who read the Four Books and Five Classics, and the engineering school was in a semi-abandoned state.

Then, it is necessary to allow people who study engineering to have the opportunity to squeeze into the center of power and let them have the right to speak. Only in this way can they not be strangled, and the lowly status of craftsmen can be permanently changed.

Who was so bothered by Confucianism at the beginning?As a result, after hundreds of years, other theories withered and Confucianism ruled the world.

Shao Shude sat back annoyed.

In fact, to be selfish, it’s okay to set up a feudal dynasty that only respects Confucianism, and it may be more stable.For the ruler, it couldn't be better, so worry-free.

But—forget it, I’ve had enough fun, and I’ll let my descendants enjoy it for a few more generations, even if in the end, the dynasty is destroyed because of the combination of various academics and active thinking, it’s okay.

Junzi Zhize was killed in the fifth generation, you have to believe in the wisdom of future generations.

******
On the second day of May in the fifth year of Qianning, General Tu arrived in Luoyang.

Shao Shude recruited the recruits sent by the yamen Shanzhou Academy to the coach of the capital to improve the establishment, and the whole army was full of 3 people.

Then, things that had been delayed before were also done.

The ministries were dismantled and reorganized.Xia people, Liang people, Yun people, Qi people, etc. are no longer distinct, but you have me in you and you in me.

Well, General Tu will not be able to go to the battlefield for a few months.But it's worth it, and a necessary step for reorganization.Shao Shude took the opportunity to inspect the whole army, demoted some unqualified officers, promoted some courageous and capable new recruits, and gave them both kindness and majesty, allowing them to practice rigorously and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

On the ninth day of May, he personally led the soldiers who had just recovered to [-], [-] Yin Anzhi, and [-] Tu generals to the south and arrived in Ruzhou.

After a few years, the Qingshu Palace has changed a lot, it can be regarded as completely completed, and the scale is much larger than before.When working in Luoyang in the future, you can come here for military parades and lectures in spring and summer, and you can come here for hunting and soaking in hot springs in autumn and winter. It is indeed a good place.

The concubine Zhe Fangai led all the concubines to greet her in person. When she saw Zhang Hui and Mrs. Chu who followed Shao Shude out of the carriage, she remained calm and laughed at Yan Yan.

Zhang Hui and Chu were a little cautious, the former was fine, while the latter even trembled slightly.

"I will never forget the merits of the Wuzang clan." Shao Shude sat down in Bixia Hall, and said warmly to Wuzang Miao'e.

Wuzang Miao'e was only fifteen or sixteen years old when he was with him, and now she is over thirty.

Shao Shude sighed, how anxious he was when he snatched him, and how scumbag he was when he forgot later.

The wild women in the Golden Immortal Temple were his trophies, collecting stamps, but these well-known concubines of the palace were different.

Muzang Miao'e didn't have any strange expression on her face. She took the hand of her nine-year-old daughter Shao Fu and said, "My brother must be very pleased when he hears about it. Hengshan Dangxiang has been bullied for more than a hundred years. The new dynasty is honorable. My grandfather does not have this blessing, and I will not wait until that day."

The more Wuzang Miao'e said that, the more guilty Shao Shude felt, and said, "Hengshan is too poor. If the Wuzang clan were to be enshrined, they would be able to get Fuzhou County. I think Qingzhou is very good. The Bohai Pavilion and the Silla Pavilion have a lot of people, there is salt, and there are great profits from the sea trade, no matter what the Zang family can do, they can get the title of Duke of Beihai County, and food seals for [-] households."

Wuzang Miao'e's mouth is still relatively tight, and Shao Shude is not worried about making it known to everyone, anyway, it is enough for Yi Congjun to let Wuzang Jie know clearly—well, Wuzang Miao'e's mouth can sometimes be very big , very deep.

Shao Shude suddenly discovered that he seemed to be the most suitable person to spread the news secretly.

Fuck, why are there so many sisters, sisters and daughters of great generals and ministers around me?

Princess Zhe Fangai walked over with her maid, carrying a few plates of fruit and snacks, and a young boy with a thick head and a thick head followed beside her.

"Husband, you just came from Guangzhou yesterday from far away." Zhe Fangai beckoned for the little boy to come over.

Zhe Silun's son, Zhe Congyuan, has been to the palace several times, Shao Shude certainly knows him.

But, what is the meaning of Zhejia?
"Grandfather already knows." Zhe Fangai said cryptically, "He has summoned hundreds of Xiaorui members from the clan, and he will go to the camp first, personally supervise the battle, and vow to destroy Anzhou in May."

Shao Shude felt relieved, this was a very positive signal, a silent conversation.

From this point of view, there is still a high possibility of peaceful recovery of Tang and Guang towns, at least Tang, Deng and Sui prefectures should not be a big problem.

Now, his eyes have been set on Zhongwujun.
